I think this is pretty much all wrong. Steinbock writes on medical ethics but has written little, if anything, on animal rights. See her web page here: http://www.albany.edu/philosophy/steinbock/

The entry on "Bonnie Steinbock" says that she is the author of several articles on animals. In fact, I only wrote one (actually my first article in print) specifically on the moral status of animals: "Speciesism and the Idea of Equality," which originally appeared in Philosophy, 53 (April 1978): 249-58. While that article has been reprinted numerous times, I am better known for my work in reproduction and genetics.

I have written on the topic of moral status relating to embryos (e.g., “Respect for Human Embryos,” in Paul Lauritzen, ed., Cloning and the Future of Human Embryo Research (Oxford University Press, 2001): 21-33, and "Moral Status, Moral Value and Human Embryos," forthcoming in Steinbock, ed., The Oxford Handbook of Bioethics) and also a book (Life Before Birth: The Moral and Legal Status of Embryos and Newborns, Oxford University Press, 1992).

Hope this helps. Bonnie Steinbock
